How to Make Makeover Creamy Seafood Soup

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 pound of shrimp and 1/2 pound of scallops. Saute until shrimp turn pink (about 3-5 minutes).
  2. Remove shrimp and scallops from the pan and set aside.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the same Dutch oven. Saute 1 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1/2 cup chopped carrots until tender (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Sprinkle 1/4 cup all-purpose flour over the vegetables.
  5. Stir constantly until the flour is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
  6. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  8. Simmer for 2 minutes, or until the soup has thickened slightly, stirring occasionally.
  9. Gently stir in the cooked shrimp and scallops.
  10. Heat through for another 2-3 minutes. Do not boil. Serve hot and enjoy!
